Balance on every level
At Nathan, every detail serves a purpose—interior, lighting and sound are all part of the experience. Chef Nathan Van Echelpoel and sommelier Eva Van de Peer, partners in both life and work, pair warmth with ambition in a kitchen where French-Belgian flavours meet subtle Asian influences. The dishes balance technical skill with curiosity, exploring new flavours and presentations without losing a sense of comfort. Eva curates’ wine and house-made juice pairings with a careful eye on sustainability and season. Behind the scenes, a four-day workweek and nourishing staff meals create balance for the team, while clever waste strategies ensure that ingredients are used to their fullest. It’s a balance of craft and warmth from start to finish.
Sustainability highlights
- Regular team activities to support well-being
 - Seasonal local produce, including vegetables from the rooftop garden Pakt in Antwerp
 - Waste minimisation through sorting, nose-to-tail cooking
 - European natural wines
 - House-made juice pairings selected with respect for nature
